I teach twelfth grade Advanced Placement English Literature and Composition, Contemporary Literature, Public Speaking, and eleventh grade Regents English.  I am also a co-advisor of Arlington High School's Admirals Chapter of the National Honor Society.  I have been teaching English in public high schools since 1992.  I have been a proud member of the Arlington community since 2003.  I received a bachelor of arts degree from Connecticut College, which included a semester of study at University College Galway in Ireland.  I received a master of arts degree from San Francisco State University.  My primary goal as a teacher has always been to foster a love of reading quality literature in my students.
